The Parasite Office is is attached one story up between two adjacent brick buildings, leaving the roadway below unharmed. <a href="http://inhabitat.com/solar-powered-piezoelectric-sports-stadium-breaks-ground-in-india/" target="_blank">Traffic and pedestrians</a> can continue to travel from the front of the buildings to the courtyards at the rear.
